‘A globalizing society, which underestimates the importance of foreign language skills, forces us to question values and domains. Against that backdrop, Charles Burdett and Loredana Polezzi re-examine the meaning and finality of Italian Studies in Transnational Italian Studies... as a reader and an advocate of a transcultural approach to Italian Studies, I have found the reading to be very enriching.’ Inge Lanslots, Annali d’Italianistica
